How to keep food safe throughout the flow of food.

Prevent cross-contamination Prevent time-temperature abuse

How to prevent cross-contamination.

Use separate equipment for each type of food Clean and sanitize all work surfaces, equipment, and utensils after each task

Prepping raw food at different times.

Prepare raw meat, fish, and poultry at different times than ready-to-eat food

Buy food items that don’t require much prepping or handling

Time temperature abuse are always in the rage of

Food held in the range of 41°F and 135°F (5°C and 57°C) has been time-temperature abused

Food has been time-temperature abused whenever it is handled in the following ways

Cooked to the wrong internal temperature Held at the wrong temperature Cooked or reheated incorrectly

How to avoid time-temperature abuse

Monitor time and temperature Make sure the correct kinds of thermometers are available. Regularly record temperatures and the times they are taken Minimize the time that food spends in the temperature danger zone

Thermocouples and Thermistors

Measure temperature through a metal probe Display temperatures digitally Come with interchangeable probes Immersion probe Surface probe Penetration probe Air probe Have a sensing area on the tip of their probe

What are Infrared (Laser) Thermometers used for?

Used to measure the surface temperature of food and equipment Hold as close to the food or equipment as possible Remove anything between the thermometer and the food, food package, or equipment Follow manufacturers’ guidelines

Time-Temperature Indicators

Monitor both time and temperature Are attached to packages by the supplier A color change appears on the device when time-temperature abuse has occurred

What is Maximum Registering Tape?

It Indicates the highest temperature reached during use Used where temperature readings cannot be continuously observed.

When using thermometers:

Wash, rinse, sanitize, and air-dry thermometers before and after using them Calibrate them before each shift to ensure accuracy Make sure thermometers used to measure the temperature of food are accurate to +/- 2°F or +/- 1°C

How to us a thermometer?

Insert the thermometer stem or probe into thickest part of the product Take more than one reading in different spots Wait for the thermometer reading to steady before recording the temperature
